CRUNCH or How to drain yourself of energy..

These past few days I have worked frantically through the nights to complete Dirty D's opcode repertoir for v5 of SCUMM. I finished up a couple of minutes ago. Nothing beats tediously adding dozens (~107 I believe) of opcode handlers one after another. I will have to think of a way to minimize the pain next time this kind of work comes knocking on my door, which is soon.

Anyway, according to my schedule I was supposed to finish this first prototype, well, yesterday. I currently have an intermediary representation of the raw "disassembled" data. so control flow structure rec. and pseudo code formatting are still missing. The formatting code itself will take about one day, maybe less, and should cover most of the requirements for another bytecode variants as well. (intermediary rep -> pseudo code). The control flow structure rec is what I will write next. I hope to finish all of the remaining work for Dirty D until next Monday so as to not waste much more time before deciding on the nature of the second prototype. Opcode specification probably will be key then, there has to be a less painful way... *rubs his eyes*

good night, for now..
